Re: Screening of Constituents with Limited Detections and Detection Limits Exceeding the EPA Regional Screening Level Table Operable Unit #3 (OU3), LCP Chemicals Site, Brunswick, Georgia

Dear Mr. Jackson:

The purpose of this correspondence is to provide you with the information regarding the above-referenced subject that you requested during our meeting on December a. 2010, which was held at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's ("EPA") offices, and during our follow-up webinar held on December 22, 201 0.

The previous discussions between Honeywell and EPA regarding this topic focused on whether to carry forward in the Human Health Baseline Risk Assessment ("HHBRA") for OU3 as Constituents of Potential Concern ("COPCj chemicals that have not been detected in site soils or that have a low frequency of detection but have detection limits ("DLs") that often exceed the EPA's residential Regional Screening Levels ("RSLs")1 for soil. The EPA suggested using a methodology of comparing the DLs for these chemicals with the EPA's Contract Required Quantitation Limits ("CRQLs") and RSLs. On December 2, 2010, EPA provided Honeywell with a table illustrating the proposed methodology applied to the Quadrant 4 data set.2 Exhibits 1-6, which are attached to this letter, present the implementation of your proposed methodology to the full datasets used for the individual Exposure Units ("EUs'1 (comprised of the Offsite Tank Farm ("OTF") and Quadrants 1 through 4).

Mr. Galo Jackson January 18, 2010 Page 3 of 5

The analysis illustrates that significantly fewer chemicals carry forward as COPC when the criteria are applied on a site-wide basis. This is because when the data set is segregated into smaller EU-specific data sets, a small number of DLs exceeding either the CRQLs or RSLs can disproportionately affect the exceedence percentages. In addition, the vast majority of detection limit exceedences of RSLs and CRQLs are those associated with the QAL on-site laboratory utilized during the Time Critical Removal Action.

It is our understanding that EPD perhaps desires the condition that all of the constituents eliminated as COPC based on this methodology would still be discussed qualitatively in the uncertainty section of the HHBRA. In addition, EPA's proposal also suggests that additional site characterization might be performed for the "black font" chemicals during a later stage in the remedial action process (e.g., remedial design). However as we discussed during our meeting on December 8, 2010, any method of examining data on a frequency-of­exceedence basis for this Site is strongly biased to the large percentage of on-site laboratory data records to the overall data set. Additional site characterization performed at a later stage in the remedial action process will not substantially change the percentages.

Because of this bias, EPA askC.d Honeywell to further examine the Level IV data portion of the overall data set for the "b19fik font" parameters with respect to comparison of detections and DL values to the respective RSL values. When the dataset is evaluated in this manner, there is still a significant amount of Level IV data collected from all areas of the Site for all of the parameters of interest herein. We have illustrated this using a GIS-based analysis that shows that for most of these parameters the Level IV data DLs are not of issue (i.e., DLs below CRQLs and RSLs). The figures associated with this analysis are provided as Exhibit 7.4

This GIS-based analysis demonstrates that all of the parameters evaluated herein have been adequately characterized and do not warrant being considered as COPC, given that there are very few detects and where detected the values are below RSLs. The parameters with more significant DLs issues are as follows:

• 2.4-dinitrotoluene - no samples with detections; 154 of 154 DLs (1 00%) exceed the adjusted RSL while 31 of 154 DLs (20%) exceed the actual RSL value.

• 3.3'-dichlorobenzidine - no samples with detections; 33 of 154 (21 %) DLs exceed the RSL.

• 4.6-dinitro-2-methylphenol - of two detections, only one is above the RSL; 144 of 146 (99%) of DLs exceed the RSL. However, only 28/146 (19%) DLs exceed the CRQL on a site-wide basis. All of the samples with DLs that exceed the CQRL were analyzed by EPA's Environmental Sciences Division ("ESD") laboratory.

• bis(2-chloroethyllether - no samples with detections; 153 of 154 (99%) DLs exceed the RSL. However, only 25/154 (16%) DLs exceed the CRQL on a site-wide basis. All of the samples with DLs that exceed the CQRL were analyzed by the ESD laboratory.

v 4 The figures in Exhibit 7 are not individually numbered, but they do include all of the "bl~k fonr parameters in the table above and in Exhibits 1-6. There are two figures associated with each chemical; the first shows actual detections (no locations are depicted where all results are non-detect) and the second shows the non-detect DL values. In both cases the values are grouped into concentration range classes with "break points" corresponding to the residential RSL values.

• hexachlorobenzene - three detections all below the RSL value; 151 of 154 (98%) DLs exceed the RSL. However, only 25/154 (16%) DLs exceed the CRQL on a site­wide basis. All of the samples with DLs that exceed the CQRL were analyzed by the ESD laboratory.

• n-nitroso-di-n-propylamine - no samples with detections; 154 of 154 (1 00%) DLs exceed the RSL. However, only 25/154 (16%) DLs exceed the CRQL on a site-wide basis. All of the samples with DLs that exceed the CQRL were analyzed by the ESD laboratory.

• pentachlorophenol - no samples with detections; 128 of 154 (83%) DLs exceed the RSL. However, only 30/154 (19%) DLs exceed the CRQL on a site-wide basis. All of the samples with DLs that exceed the CQRL were analyzed by the ESD laboratory.

• thallium - 31 samples with detections site-wide, all below the adjusted RSL; 92 of 122 DLs (75%) exceed the adjusted RSL; 16 of 122 (13%) DLs exceed the RSL.

The data for the polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB), as represented by the Aroclor-specific analyses, warrants further discussion in the context of this analysis. For most of the EUs, Aroclors 1254, 1260, and 1268 are identified as COPC based on maximum detected concentrations that exceed the residential RSLs. As shown in the Attachment 7 figures for these Aroclors, there are multiple detections in the Level IV laboratory data, many of which are above the residential RSL value of 0.22 mg/kg used for COPC screening. Indeed, these three Aroclors are known to have been used at the Site and, thus, is appropriate that they are indentified as COPC.

All of the other Aroclors, however, have very few detections and only one of these detections (for Aroclor 1221) exceeds the residential RSL within the entire Level IV data set. Further, the Level IV datasets for all of the Aroclors demonstrate robust spatial coverage of the Site and furthermore, the vast majority of detection limits that are below the residential RSLs. Given the fact that each Aroclor represents a mixture of individual PCB congeners, and that differential environmental ''weathering" of these congeners over time can make it more difficult to identify the specific Aroclor present in a sample,5 it is not surprising that there might be a few detections reported by the laboratory for Aroclors not associated with the Site. A stark contrast in number of detections is evident when comparing the figures for the three site-related Aroclors (1254, 1260, and 1268) to all other Aroclors. Therefore, COPC status is justified only for the three site-related Aroclors- 1254, 1260, and 1268.

Finally, EPA's ESD laboratory did not differentiate between benzo(b)- and benzo(k)­fluoranthene. There is no RSL value for benzo(b/k)fluoranthene. Honeywell proposes that the results reported by the ESD laboratory for benzo(b/k)fluoranthene be grouped with the analytical data for benzo(b)fluoranthene for calculating exposure point concentrations. This is a conservative manner of handling these data as the RSL value for benzo(b)fluoranthene is lower than the value for benzo(k)fluoranthene by one order of magnitude.

5 EPA's SW846 Method 8082A (Polychlorinated Biphenyls by Gas Chromatography) states "Aroclors are multi­component mixtures. When samples contain more than one Aroclor, a higher level of analyst expertise is required to attain acceptable levels of qualitative and quantitative analysis. The same is true of Arodors that have been subjected to environmental degradation (''weathering") or degradation by treatment technologies. Such weathered multi-component mixtures may have significant differences in peak patterns compared to those of Aroclor standards."
